| USAT Rules: 5.11i, Bar-end rule |
      This week’s rule is 5.11i, better known as the “bar-end rule.” One of the things that USAT officials look for in transition is handlebars that are open, or missing a plug on the ends. The plugs that stop-up the open ends of the bars are called bar-end plugs and are installed to prevent serious injury in the case of a fall. Open-ended handlebars can puncture the Here’s the rule: 5.11i. Handlebars and stem must be fashioned to prevent any danger. All handlebar ends must be solidly plugged to lessen the possibility of injury. Want to learn more about a specific rule? Let us know at communications@usatriathlon.org.
